An environment of domestic violence can easily extend to school bullying.
Having a father who is a frequent abusive gambler not only manifests in constant beatings but also pervades every corner of life like a cold, damp rain.
In terms of personality, cowardly and self-deprecating.
Economically, forget about pocket money, I wouldn’t even dare ask for various school fees or money to buy pens and notebooks.
Psychologically, I dare not communicate with classmates, dare not interact with others, afraid of being looked at with pity, afraid that my unfortunate situation would be exposed to everyone.
In elementary school, things were okay since my mother was an elementary school teacher there and she paid close attention to me.
But in middle school, my mother could no longer look after me, and my situation started to worsen.
Not only did I feel out of place with others, but some girls always tried to talk to me, show concern for me, which inevitably led to trouble with some delinquent classmates.
After being beaten a few times, the school called my parents, and then I got beaten by my father at home, I was reluctant to go to school.
I started skipping classes, not wanting to go to school or to return home, hating myself, abandoning myself.
Xu Xinyi’s face stiffened, immediately wondering if Wu Mu was joking.
But seeing the serious expression on Wu Mu’s face, and recalling the emotions in Wu Mu’s previous songs, she decisively changed the topic:
"Your performance the day before yesterday was amazing, I even recorded that song as my phone ringtone."
Was Wu Mu bullied in school before?
Better find out more about this later.
She made a mental note of it.
...
After visiting Wumu Company and understanding their upcoming ideas and plans,
they started talking business.
In this conversation, Wu Mu discovered that the deputy mayor of his hometown was actually quite competent.
"Next month, there’s a large Dragon King Festival in Zhao Town, Nangang, which you should have heard of. It’s always very lively, with large temple fairs and parades during the week of the festival, involving almost half the district."
"So, our city plans to use this folk festival as a highlight, to organize a special tourism festival, and we would like your help in promoting it."
They did not talk about general tourism promotion, but used a folk festival as a hook for the promotion.
Huang Yunxia had clearly planned this carefully, making the promotion precise and even ensuring...
She hesitated a bit and said, "You know Nangang’s economic conditions are not great, so we can’t offer a high price. The city can only budget about three million for your promotion fee, but I managed to secure a special tax policy. If you move the registration of your studio to Nangang, we can offer you a five-year tax reduction."
A tax reduction?
This is a common practice for many local collaborations.
But...
"Isn’t it tax evasion if we just move the registration to Nangang without actual business activities there?" Wu Mu couldn’t help but ask.
This practice was common in the industry a few years ago, with many celebrity studios and production companies registering in cities with lower tax rates.
If there were actual business activities, it could be considered legal tax avoidance.
But if it was just an address change without real operations there, it would be a shell company engaged in tax evasion.
Many people in the industry got fined heavily for this in recent years.
Huang Yunxia obviously knew this, "Some actual business activities in Nangang are indeed needed, but it’s still worthwhile. You can open a small branch office in Nangang, assign some non-location specific work there, and still save quite a bit with your company’s revenue."
This...
Wu Mu looked at Huang Yunxia speechlessly, feeling that this hometown’s deputy mayor seemed quite bold.
All this talk sounded politically incorrect.
Huang Yunxia also felt helpless, if Nangang had money, of course, she...

Conduct some actual business activities in Nangang, like setting up a small self-media incubation company, as long as.
But honestly, Nangang City doesn’t have any famous tourist attractions, even if Wu Mu helps with promotion, she doesn’t think it will attract many tourists.
If it’s for free, it wouldn’t matter, hitting a couple of shots by chance.
But even though Wu Mu is a celebrity from Nangang, it’s impossible to work for free.
At best, it would be a fair price.
So they still needed a solid hook.
"In mid-January, there is a large folk festival, the Dragon King Festival, in Zhao Town, Nangang."
"We want to invite you to be our tourism ambassador for the year, filming about two to three local tourism promotional videos, and..."

Before arriving at the hotel, he was surprised to spot a familiar face by the roadside.
Huh, what is she doing here?
Wu Mu curiously looked at a figure standing at the entrance of a restaurant ahead.
It was Su Meng, who he had met during the first season of Star Agency.
She was standing next to a red Ferrari, looking angry, talking to someone inside the Ferrari.
